Heart Land Fart Land

HEARTLAND???@!!!     
and thank you for the clarification.
 I did receive my order and I am not delighted with the LED bulbs.
I had hoped for something much brighter than what I received.
The bulbs I purchased from Heart Land are no brighter than the bulbs I bought for $5.
 sadly to return these items would cost as much as I paid.

   It's so hard for a consumer to believe the claims ,made by some companies when even simple things like light-bulbs are questionable at best.

I know it's not your fault.
But I did feel the need to come forth and express my disappointment.
And now I was told that I had to join the shipping club because free shipping would no longer be available from Heartland.
But,
 my very next catalog says plainly,
"Free Shipping".

It's bad enough when a product doesn't meet your expectations,
 but when customer service can't even tell you a fact and lies for sales...
.well, It really puts that company in a very unfavorable light.
I will not recommend anymore of my friends to buy from Heartland,
 last time I did, I didn't even get a $10 reward
I was told.....
(I didn't follow protocol)
  Oh well, enough  of this.
A lesson learned is valuable enough.

 sincerely,
Sad Customer


weak products....weaker company

Save O logy

Saveology is a scam an a half. Sure most of us know that, but more need to. They definatly sound too good to be true, because they are not true. I did soem research with them and they billed me! Well, they thanked me for my order first. Hey! I didn't order anything? But there it was in my bill.
   So, stay away from this deal. I am sure a few people actually  did get a good deal from them, and I'm sure it's the same deal they would had eventually recieved from their service provider if they spent enough time on the phone.
   which brings me to cable providers, By now we all figured out that they are going to try and get the most cash from you the consumer. It stinks becaus e we all are trying to screthch our dollars. Cable providers can do so much more for you and give you a great deal. IF you get the right rep on the phone and IF Jupiter is in line with Mars, IF it's the third tues of the month. Really, there's no rhyme or reason why they won't just povide each customer with the same level of service, for the same price.
   Ask your friends and nieghbors, they'll all tell you they pay different prices for the same service you are recieving yourself, now. I'm sorry I can't tell you exactly how it happens, it's an unsolved mistery.
   if you know a promo code and secret handshake, tell me! I need a better price too.

Some days are better than others

It's a beautiful summer day. Finally. and for some of us it doesn't matter how beautiful it is outside. Inside we feel terrible. Pain, poverty, depression, those are some of the aliments that keep some from enjoying a perfect day.
   Today I get to go see my Doctor. Isn't that a lot of fun? I can clearly see now why it's called "Practicing Medicine". They don't know what they're doing most of the time. Only "Practicing". Hey, I hear it isn't an exacting science, but shit, you might think they had some idea.
  well, as a patient I can tell you what I've learned: Never tell them what you want-You wont get it. Take notes-You'll soon see their contradictions. And try and keep it on one focus, no matter how hard they try and talk to you about other area's in your life. Stay on task. Remember, they only get to see you for a 20 minute snapshot of your life, For the next 90 days they will have no idea how bad or good things are going in your life. If you can't remember the bad days maybe keep a log or journal.
    Doctors are just people. They know less about you and your body than you do so it's important to TELL them. Even that said, how many of us are frustrated with the care we receive. a show of hands?
    Try and have a great day, even if it's not all you want it to be. From Ward - E

Commie Cast

Hello, it's been warm and I been away, BUT when I got back I had a mailbox full of mail. I opened my Comcast Bill and it was almost $100. Twice the regular price. It appears someone went and upgraded me service to include HBO and Internet. I already have Internet with Fair point. I don't think I need two ISP's.
   I did what anyone would do, I called, spoke for about 45 minutes and was hung up on. No, never got a call back. I tries to call them again and am having nothing but that same old Comcast frustration. Mind you the $100 was only for ISP and TV. I am now looking over different plans for the infamous triple play. 
Q) How can a third party sell Comcast for less than Comcast can offer it to me?? What do I do?? Has anybody actually received a triple play package for anything near $99. What about all these installation fees? Play it in... what's to install?
  anyhow, if anybody can suggest a better plan than Comcast offers, OR if anybody knows a way in which a person can negotiate with Comcast... Please let me know.

Shelter Logic 10X20

Shelter Logic Tent

     I bought one of these beauties at my local K-Mart on sale for $249. Best price I could find for this item. It has five support legs, all powder coated, and a decent mil tarp covering. I was told it is easy to set up and will take about 2 hrs. Right! two days later, it is still not complete. The high winds had a lot to do with the delay. at one point I though the wind was going to lift me right off the ground.
    Suggestions: Tie or stake the poles down long before attempting to tarp. Also, try and put the ends together on the ground before assembling the pole structure. I mean, put the tarp vinyl on the ends before standing it up.The poles have to go thru the tarps, and they don't mention this till you have the entire steel structure assembled, making a "Disassemble" extra step. You could also put the poles thru the base of  one side before assembly. But only on one side. These steps will save a lot of future dis-assembly.
    All in all, I think Shelter Logic makes a good quality tent thing for storage, the best part, being a "Temporary" structure, most municipalities do not require a permit or fee, (for a temp structure.) You may have to move it every few years or so, but it's light.
   Just don't do it on a windy day.
